Well for one thing, Zerohedge is an aggregator of various news sites and blogs, and 'Tyler Durden' is more than one individual. But if you have evidence that ZH is controlled/influenced by Russia I'd genuinely like to see it.

I distrust them because they were pushing the Russian narrative that troops amassing at the Ukraine border were just there for a training exercise. Which was ridiculous. If they weren't willingly disseminating shitty Russian propaganda, they were fooled by it. I am going to assume the worst case scenario but I don't like either one, and the safest course of action is to treat everything from there with a critical eye.

Again, Zerohedge is a news aggregator presenting a number of different viewpoints. Plenty of people, including myself, were wrong about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. That doesn't make them a Russian asset.

Perhaps not, but it makes them fools, and I don't plan on following foreign agents or fools. I'm just crazy like that.
